.@davidlazer discusses the future of computational social science —and the need for more cross-disciplinary graduate training (with a wel-deserved shoutout to #SICSS!)

We also need tools like @VolunteerSci to help researchers engage in this work. #pacss2018

We’re ending #pacss2018 with a keynote from the one and only @kinggary.

For those of you who can’t make it and who’ve had FOMO all day, you can watch the livestream here: http://www.northeastern.edu/eventvenues/live

Thanks to folks who came to my #pacss2018 talk on conceptual networks and political reasoning!

Using text from political books, @justinhgross clusters writing by core values. The left talks about fairness while the right talks about liberty. #pacss2018

Reagan Mozer tackles an important methodological challenge: how to match text data #pacss2018

.@arthur_spirling discusses boringness in the UK parliament. As it turns out, the average level of boringness is boring — but the methodology to measure that is not. #pacss2018

So glad to have @SAGEOceanTweets with us here for #pacss2018. Stop by their table outside the Alumni Center!

Nick Beauchamp discussing the light and dark sides of online conversations: there’s a lot of negativity, but good interactions do happen.

Projects include joint work with myself, Ioana Panaitu, and Lu Wang #pacss2018

Kai Zhu discusses his work studying the political slant of local news. #pacss2018

Jaemin Lee, our newest @NUnetsi postdoc, discusses his work on the social origins of political polarization. #pacss2018

Very cool hearing about new image analysis techniques at #pacss2018 on topics like: - trust in politicians (@jlanastas) - protest sizes/violence (Zachary Steinert-Threlkeld) - gender in images depicting professions (@onyilam) - African roads & politics (Philipp Hunziker)

Nick Eubank examines what leads to heterogeneity in political participation and social sanctioning of free riders.

Spoiler alert: this behavior is mediated by social network structure. #pacss2018

Really excellent work from @Chen_Kerry analyzing transcripts from a deliberative poll in Macau.

She finds that the structure and format of deliberative polls lead to good deliberation in this semi-authoritarian setting. And the government implemented suggestions! #pacss2018

Erin Carter discussing secession movements and protests in China #pacss2018

So excited for the Politics and Computational Social Science Conference today! Be jealous if you’re not coming. #pacss2018
